I'm reading a book called Veiled Empire by Nathan Garrison at the moment which has a ranking of 68,139 paid in Kindle store. It is published by Harper Voyager Impulse.
Now, I read a really interesting blog post by Michael J Sullivan on Amazing Stories about author earnings, both in general and the actual report itself from 2014.
Anyway, according to the blog, a book at the rank above falls into the low-selling category between 25,001-100,000. Just looking at the numbers is interesting as it shows how much books actually sell, and what the rankings actually mean.
To be honest, with such low rankings and such good review, it probably would've been better if the author had self-published, made more sales and more money himself.
What do you think?
